About the Department

The position is currently grant-funded through per-member-per-month payments tied to contracts between Medicaid, insurance companies, and local health departments. At this time, funding is secured through December 31, 2026.

You will be the steady, trusted guide for pregnant and postpartum women who need someone firmly in their corner. Your work ensures no one falls through the cracks during one of the most critical periods of their lives.

If you’re driven by meaningful human connection and the chance to make a lasting difference, this role puts you at the heart of some of life’s most powerful moments. As a case manager with our Care Management for High-Risk Pregnancies (CMHRP) program, you’ll support pregnant and postpartum individuals during a critical chapter—helping them navigate pregnancy, birth, and recovery with confidence and care.

In this role, you’ll provide dedicated, expert maternal health case management for Medicaid-eligible individuals who are at increased risk for poor birth outcomes. Your work directly contributes to healthier pregnancies, safer deliveries, and stronger, more supported families across our community.

This is a deeply relationship-driven position—one where the impact of your work is visible, meaningful, and immediate. Every day, you help families start healthier, stronger, and more supported lives.

Emergency Response Requirement
This position, like all roles within the department, requires participation in emergency response activities as assigned by the health director or their designee.
Availability during public health emergencies, drills, and preparedness exercises is expected.
Responsibilities may include staffing emergency shelters and supporting response operations as needed.

Position Duties

• Comprehensive Assessment & Planning — Take the time to understand each woman’s full picture: medical history, emotional well-being, social supports, and environmental challenges. Use this insight to develop individualized plans that promote healthy pregnancies and safe postpartum recovery.

• Patient Advocacy — Stand beside your clients and speak up for their needs. Ensure they receive the services, respect, and opportunities essential for a healthier pregnancy and stronger start for their families.
